In today’s paper I read about how President Obama will host a White House reception Monday in honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, but faces criticism for not keeping campaign promises to the community. "I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans," the president said in a proclamation this month. "These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing 'don't ask, don't tell' policy in a way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security. "But critics say it's too little, too late. A memorandum signed this month by Obama means same-sex partners of civil service employees can be added to the long-term care program, employees can use their sick leave to take care of domestic partners, and children and same-sex partners of Foreign Service employees will be included in medical evacuations and housing allocations, according to the White House. But it does not extend full health care coverage, which would require an act of Congress. "It seems to me at least to be a nice gesture, but a disappointment," Richard Kim, a senior editor at The Nation magazine, said at the time. "It will absolutely be seen as something good. But I think, for example, it not including full health insurance, that is going to put a real microscope on that question. You know, why not?" Kim said, adding that memo applies only to federal employees, so most people will not be affected by it. The extension of health and retirement benefits to same-sex partners is prohibited under the Defense of Marriage Act. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the entire memorandum violates the act. In another story Medical examiners are due to conduct a preliminary autopsy Monday on Billy Mays, the man with the booming voice famous for fronting products such as OxiClean and Orange Glo in TV commercials. The procedure will take about four hours, the Hillsborough medical examiner's office told CNN. The pitchman was pronounced dead at his home near Tampa, Florida, Sunday morning, after his wife, Deborah, found him unresponsive, Tampa police said. He was 50. He had told a friend before he went to sleep Saturday he was not feeling well.
Today I read about how the King of Pop dies. Michael Jackson, one of the most iconic- and at times, controversial stars in pop-music history, died on June 25, 2009 at age 50. The official cause of death for Michael Jackson was not disclosed pending autopsy results. A star for 40 if his 50 years, Jackson charted a career that was marked by more heady highs and disturbing downs than almost any other performer. News of Jackson’s passing led to such intense Internet traffic yesterday that major new Web sites slowed to a near standstill because of the heavy demand by computer users. Madonna told the press that the world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever. Many fans were sad and were crying too. Michael was a well-known guy and was known world-wide.
Today I read about Michael Jackson and hi dying before he was set to open a series of 50 sold-out comeback concert, billed. Michael Jackson died of an heart attack and it was very tragic for his friends and his family and most of all his fans. It was very shocking to many people to find out he had died. He wasn’t just known as Michael Jackson he was known as the “king of pop”. Even though he died his music will live on for ever. Its hard to a lot of people because a lot of people looked up to Michael Jackson. As a child he also looked up to Smokey Robinson and many other great people.
Today I read about a teen’s night out that turned into a tragedy. Scott Eugene Roberts 16, had called his father and told him that he was spending the night at his friends house his father did not know his friend and hesitated but let him. His father asked for a number to reach him at and Scott gave him one. The next day Scott’s father called the number that his son gave him but no answer. Scott had been drinking whiskey tequila and vodka with his friends. The friends and Scott had fallen asleep and when they woke up they found that Scott was not breathing. They then called an ambulance they gave them instructions on cpr and when paramedics got there he was dead. Scott’s father was told by police later that day that his son was dead. Scott had the alcohol level of 0.36 to 0.39.
Interesting Facts- Scott had just finished 10th grade.
My Opinion- I think that this is a very sad story and I feel bad for the family and friends. Scott’s family probably looks at how they lost there son in a different DIMENSION. It seems like Scott had a good DOMESTIC relationship with his family. DESPITE everything I hope that the family can be strong.
